My clock AJ 3010 clock radio gives off an electronic sound every 10 to 20 minutes. It's like a warning sound you get from a smoke alarm when a battery is running low. I've tried replacing the batteries but the annoying little sound persists. Please help?

Sounds like a display problem where the indicator isn't working. This might be a bad connection or it could be the display itself or the driving electronics. In any case, it would probably cost you more than the clock radio's worth to have it repaired (assuming you find someone who'd take it for repair in the first place!).

Here's a "solution", though. Set your alarm for a time only a couple of minutes later than the current time and wait around. Depending on whether or not the alarm sounds, you'll know if it's set for AM or PM. At least you'll be able to keep using it until you decide to replace it.

I did not find my manual, but this worked for me. Set the clock to be a 24 hour clock by pressing and holding the Memory/Clock Adj button. The display will show 24h or 12h. Use the fast forward button to change from 12h to 24h. Press the Memory/Clock Adj button again and use the fast or reverse forward buttons to change the time to read, for example, 13:00 instead of 1:00 if the time is 1pm. Press the Memory/Clock Adj button again to set the minutes.When you are done setting the time, press and hold the Timer/Sleep button. Either a time or "0:00" will appear in the display with the word "TIMER" flashing above it. Quickly press and hold the Memory/Clock Adj button until the first digit in the time starts flashing. Set the hour that you wish the alarm to sound using the fast or reverse forward buttons, just like you do for setting the time. Press the Memory/Clock Adj button again to set the minutes, and one more time to finish. The word "TIMER" will stop flashing and go solid, and the display will return to the time of day. When the alarm sounds, you can hit Snooze which will give you 5 more minutes, or you can turn the Clock Radio off. Pressing the Timer/Sleep button again will turn off the timer (alarm) and pressing and holding it again after that will turn it back on.
